all the power of 10W is converted to heat energy of 10W.
The amount of heat that can be moved using the energy depends on the temperature and humidity of the outdoor.
According to Carnot Theorem, COP that can be obtained in heat pump system is given by the formula.
By analysing the enthalpy diagram of the compression cycle, In compression cycle, the heat pump COP can be obtained..
By moving the energy from outside the building, This shows that the heat pump system is better alternative to electric heating as unit of power is able to 4 units of power..
Take note that COP will be reduced as the amount of heat that can be moved to the indoor has now been reduced.
Some units are fitted with in that the heater will turn on to supply the necessary heating for the occupants..
Hence, it's better to get heat pump with heater built into the unit to ensure that you will still have sufficient heating during winter condition...
